The Crystals 1960s
Ms. Alston
was a choir-trained
teenager in Brooklyn
when she formed the Crystals
with her high school friends
Mary Thomas,
Dolores Kenniebrew
(who is known as Dee Dee),
Myrna Giraud
and Patsy Wright.
Their harmonious songs,
often about young romance,
were like those
of many other popular
all-female R&B vocal groups
in the early 1960s,
like the Shirelles
and the Ronettes.
The producer Phil Spector
signed the Crystals in 1961,
and they became an early example
of his dense, layered
“wall of sound”
production style.
